Victory for airport workers in New Jersey and New York! On September 27th the Port Authority announced the approval of their $19 minimum wage policy for airport workers, including airline catering workers. Workers earning the minimum wage at Newark Airport will receive a $2.00 wage increase beginning November 1, 2018 and an additional $3.15 on September 1, 2019. This will be a gradual wage increase for workers in Newark, JFK, and LaGuardia that will reach $19 in 2023.
On the 17th anniversary of September 11, 2001, UNITE HERE remembers all those who lost their lives on that tragic day. We hold especially close the memory of our 43 sisters and brothers from UNITE HERE Local 100 who died while working at Windows on the World, a restaurant located at the top of the North Tower of the World Trade Center.
In memory of our fallen brothers and sisters at Windows on the World:
The families and coworkers of those mostly immigrant workers talk about their loss, their dreams, and their challenges in the movie “Windows.”
